1987 Celestial 44 Ketch

A Well-Maintained Bluewater Cruiser Ready for Extended Cruising

Designed for serious cruising and comfortable liveaboard life, this 1987 Celestial 44 Ketch combines classic lines with extensive modern upgrades.

Built with a solid fiberglass hull and featuring a protected centre cockpit, she is well suited to offshore passages, short-handed sailing and comfortable long-term cruising.

Recent investment includes new Rolly Tasker furling sails from 2024, an 800Ah battery bank, 500W solar system, Victron inverter and MPPT charging system, giving the yacht excellent off-grid capability for extended time at anchor.

Meticulously maintained and presented in excellent condition, she is ready for her next adventure.
